rcent, compared with 24.4 percent in the first quarter of 2012, primarily driven by the reinstatement of the R&D tax credit in the U.S. for the first quarter of 2013 as well as the one-time impact of the R&D tax credit for 2012 that was recorded in the first quarter of 2013. Net income and earnings per share were $1.248 billion and $1.14, respectively, compared with $1.027 billion and $0.92 during the first quarter of 2012. These increases were driven by a lower tax rate, higher other income and higher operating income.
